A special place in hell goes to

[Aspecialplaceinhell]

Whose clever idea was it to put stickers on greetings cards?! Not the easy pull off ones but the ones that leave some of the sticker behind. I know very first world problems.

Anybody want to put anything into the black hole of hell?

I bought one of those pink dispenser role things and it is so much better

I try to avoid using it anyway if I can because of the environment

YY to narrow and pointy-toed trainers! Aren’t trainers supposed to be comfy?
Feet aren't longer in the middle!!

I don't get "sniffy" at people like you, I just think to myself that they're ignorant and annoying and then get on with whatever I'm doing! Oh yeah, and always make sure to thank people who are polite, well mannered and considerate of others, especially as it seems to be rarer and rarer. It's interesting to get an insight into their mindset though, so thanks for that!

And those time wasting clips on Facebook of the ‘perfect’ house - all taupe and white with chopped cushions accompanied by totally irrelevant music. Everything is so staged it’s clear, despite the cups of steaming coffee and freshly baked cookies, that no one lives there. Or if they do, they’re only sitting on the floor and living on takeaways and not using either the sofa, the immaculate kitchen or the crisp white bed.

And a special place for me too as I still watch them!

Things that only come in large size that used to be available in a small size e.g. mayo where you could get a small jar much easier to use the whole quantity, usually I manage to start another huge jar just before the end of salad season and have to chuck most of it out months later. And mayo is too liquid for our food waste so goes to landfill. Also small tins butter beans, whole tomatoes no longer to be had near us.
As already mentioned the plastic squeezy bottles that cannot be emptied and end up messily trying to get the mayo or ketchup out with a knife or finger as a sundae spoon won’t fit in.
Yogurt pots that no longer have lids, I saved some for re use when I realised what was happening but eventually switched to the smaller single portion pots, but more expensive.
Back of neck clothing labels, side of waist labels. Any labels in fact just print them on as pp mentioned.
Some kind of plastic/nylon thread that’s used instead of cotton now in T-shirt seams, that irritates and pricks into my shoulder
Ladies trainer liners that are always so tiny and work their way off my heels, that I’ve started buying the mens size 9-12 and even they are only slightly too big after washing and shrinking, and my shoe size is 5.5-6 so not far from average.
Double glazing units with the hinges in the room rather that internal to the window frame so loads of condensation runs onto the windowsill and forms on the frame, and gets grotty with mould yet is impossible to clean without spraying fragments of mould onto the sill.
Dogs sitting on bus seats.

Yes, exactly.

Seriously, catch yourself on. No-one owes anybody a response or a thank you for anything, that they didn't ask them to do. As I said, it's nice if they DO thank you, but it's very entitled and arrogant to get all sniffy if someone doesn't thank you for something they didn't ask you to do. Doing things for people that they never asked for, and then expecting to get praise and thanks - is a bit pathetic to be honest.

Do don’t need to thank people for doing something you didn’t ask them to? Really?

-DP: Brought you flowers!
You: Didn’t ask you to
-Neighbour: Brought your bins in for you because it was raining.
You: Didn’t ask you to
-DC: Made dinner for you mum because you were working late!
You: Didn't ask you to
-Stranger on street picks up something you didn’t notice you dropped
You: Didn’t ask you to

etc.

It takes no time or energy just to say thank you.

Make the world a better place

Manners and kindness all the way.

Today it's 3 mobile home broadband and hp printers. Just because i've had a new wifi box doesn't mean you stupid printer can be more stupid than normal just connect and print it's one photo you lazy thing.

I appreciate that those nasty plastic collar things holding four/six packs of beer together were lethal to marine life. But was there really any need to replace them with those blobs of adhesive. Depending on how long they’ve been on the shelf, or even worse, refrigerated, it’s a nightmare to separate them.

And while we’re at it, why is it that the cardboard packs of beer/soft drinks are so thin that the minute you pick them up they start to fall apart because they’re not strong enough to support the heavy contents.

I’ll confess to becoming so frustrated with my phone and printer not talking to each other, I formally physically introduced them to each other and explained I don’t need to always act as the middle man between them and that now I’d done that, I didn’t want another excuse from my phone that it didn’t recognise the printer!

I also got a very concerned sideways look from my DH whilst doing it! 😂

I don’t know if sometime has already suggested this to you as I haven’t read this massive thread yet but…

lay the package flat and slide the knife in along the top of the cheese horizontally. It leaves the bottom and tho get sides intact like a bowl

My bags (just heavy cotton) are always rejected. Because they’re heavier than plastic bags, they’re evidently suspected of containing something I’ve nicked. So I now have to pack after paying, holding other people up in the process.

I work in a supermarket. Once you've weighed your shopping through (ie, if you've put a punnet of strawberries on the scales and the till has accepted it and added it to your shopping) you can then take it off and put it in your bag on the floor. You don't need to keep piling stuff up on the scales - once the till has accepted it it's charging you for it, so where you put it after that is up to you.

So you can put a full trolley of shopping through an AST (self service till), just make sure the item has registered on the scale and the till, and then put it back in the trolley/into your bags.

Perhaps it would like to date my Toyota Corolla? Very beepy car... Gets worried if I drive too close to hedges/grass/nettles/weeds in the driveway/.

Although it might be easier if I introduced the car to my fridge. Leave the door open too long and it's like a remake of Snowmaggedon In Your Kitchen Now!

Oh my god. That's absolutely terrible! All that time in a horribly uncomfortable waiting room :(

I hope she's ok now?

Car alarms. There is one constantly going off near me at present. The owner comes out and stops it. Five minutes later it's off again! Aaaahhh!

Yep, same here. Mum, 93 taken to A&E in an ambulance after a gastric bleed one monday morning. Spent the rest of the day in the ambulance waiting for a space to open up in the corridor leading to A&E. She spent the night and most of the next day on a trolley in the corridor and then two days in A&E waiting for a bed on a ward. Nurses were triaging patients in the corridor so they could release the paramedics who had to stay until their patients were handed over.

Waiting for a space in the corridor! :(

It's just outrageous.

I know right! I thought somehow that Brexit was going to enable the UK to be able to do what they want, without interference from the controlling little boys club 'The EU.' Yet we have to have these cuntwanky shithouse attached lids, because THE EU says so! They do my head in!

Others things didn't change either, like multiple 1000s of economic migrants coming across the English channel. I thought Brexit was meant to stop that, but it didn't!

ARGH! This does my head in too. Tesco are the worst, but Morrisons are catching up. Almost double the price this past week in Morrisons for some things (without the fucking clubcard!) No I will NOT BE FORCED to have your shitty wanking clubcard! I just buy alternatives, or go somewhere else.

And the fizz disappears!

People when call the vets at 5.59pm on a Friday to say their pet has been vomiting for 5 days

People 'who'

Cycling clubs who drive to our village (thereby increasing emissions not reducing them) and then set off in groups of 20 or even more, making it impossible to overtake them on the windy country lanes as they’re far longer than a lorry.

People who drive at 27 (always 27!) mph along said 50mph country lanes and slam on their brakes to go round every corner.

Oh and Aldi’s policy of scanning your carrier bag at the self checkout for you but then it doesn’t recognise the weight of the next item so you have to wait for them to come back, every bloody time!
